ABSTRACT
A penile fracture results from the rupture of the tunica albuginea due to blunt trauma to an erect penis and is a rare urological emergency. Double penile fractures involving both corpora cavernosa injuries are extremely uncommon. We report the case of a 38-year-old male who experienced acute penile pain, swelling, and a "cracking" sound during sexual intercourse. Examination and ultrasound confirmed bilateral tunica albuginea ruptures and hematoma. The surgical repair involved hematoma evacuation and suturing of the tears. The patient recovered without complications. This case highlights the necessity for prompt recognition and surgical intervention in double penile fractures to prevent long-term complications and ensure optimal recovery.
